California’s Storied Coast
Monterey & Carmel
California · United States
Two coastal towns, one extraordinary peninsula.
Monterey and Carmel bring maritime history, cypress-lined shores and an artistic village character together on one of California’s defining stretches of coast.
DISCOVER MONTEREY & CARMEL
A peninsula where culture, history and the Pacific remain inseparable.
Monterey faces the bay with a strong maritime identity, while Carmel-by-the-Sea offers a smaller, more intimate village experience. Pacific Grove and the coastline between them complete a destination shaped by ocean views, coastal forest and enduring creative character.
The Monterey Peninsula
Ocean · Cypress · Heritage
The coast is the constant presence.
Around the Monterey Peninsula, weathered cypress, rocky coves and shifting marine light connect communities with distinct identities. History and landscape remain close at every point of the journey.
Journey Possibility
Move from Monterey and Pacific Grove around the peninsula to Carmel-by-the-Sea, then continue south toward the more elemental coastline of Big Sur.
